Pete Hegseth may dismiss it as that "climate change crap," but the Pentagon is still spending gobs of money adapting to a warming planet. Great reporting by @amandakhurley.bsky.social

The President just threatened genocide.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.
Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed."
I wrote about it here.
Wow. Career ending in any normal times. "A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/744e...
Four-byline alert: 🚨

This looks like a complicated chart, but in fact it's some of the simplest and best news imaginable: batteries are quickly turning night into noon. Worth a read if I say so myself

Oakland friends: AMY HILLYARD has been missing since Wednesday. She was last seen near her home in Cleveland Heights--if you have a camera, check your footage!
US government officials and Wall Street analysis are starting to consdier the prospect that oil prices might surge to an unprecedeted $200 a barrel.
🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.
That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

"If a very blue state like New York moves backwards on climate change as well, that’s a negative sign for the country. If you can’t do it here, can you do it anywhere?"-- @michaelgerrard.bsky.social [gift link]
NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters.
Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Your tax dollars at work: the Trump Administration wants to pay Total $1 billion NOT to build wind farms.
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake.
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Trump blames deadly strike on school on Iran. "We think it was done by Iran." But Hegseth does not back him up when asked if that was so. "We're investigating," he says. A @nytimes.com analysis indicates it was likely hit by US airstrike. @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes".

Reminder that the FBI is still refusing to let local law enforcement in on the investigation into Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths.
This is a cover up in plain sight.
“.. Neither the Israeli nor U.S. government has directly addressed the strike on the school. But the U.S. Central Command said on Saturday that it was ‘aware of reports concerning civilian harm’ and was ‘looking into them.’”
